D. Idier et al., MODELING AN INFINITE NUCLEONIC SYSTEM - STATIC AND DYNAMICAL PROPERTIES - STUDY OF DENSITY-FLUCTUATIONS, Annales de physique, 19(2), 1994, pp. 159-263
For one decade, several fields in physics as well microscopic as macro
scopic benefit from the computational particle-models (astrophysics, e
lectronics, fluids mechanics...). In particular, the nuclear matter of
fers an interesting challenge as many body problem, owing to the quant
al nature of its components and the complexity of the in-medium intera
ction. Using a model derived from semi-classical Vlasov equation and t
he projection of the Wigner function on a Gaussian coherent states bas
is (pseudo-particles), static and dynamical properties of nuclear matt
er are studied, featuring the growing of bulk instabilities in dilute
matter. Using different zero and finite range effective interactions,
the effect of the model parameters upon the relation total energy - de
nsity - temperature and surface energy of the pseudo-particles fluid i
s pointed out. The dynamical feature is first based upon a model of th
e 2-body Uehling-Ulhenbeck collisionnal term. A study of the relaxatio
n of a nucleonic system is performed. At last, the pseudo-particle mod
el is used in order to extract time scale for the growing of density f
luctuations. This process is supposed to be a possible way to clusteri
zation during heavy nuclei collisions.
